I have made it my mission in life to steer people away from P.A. and to 3DHS...MUCH better planes, MUCH better service, and MUCH nicer people to talk to for help. I figure if I can save "one" person the B.S. my son and I went through, I'll be happy...

Interesting question Vien. I love the light wing loading of the 6S Slick and really enjoy it on calmer days or when the winds are light. I recently added a 70" EF Extra built with an 8S set-up to fly on windy days. Not exactly the comparison you asked after, but now I feel I have the best of both worlds (lighter vs. heavier: 6S/8S). Both are powerful enough and a joy to fly; but I find that the 8S ship has a different feel that my 6S ships (Slick, Osiris). It will be interesting to see what others experience is with an 8S Slick.
